To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that LRAYMOND HAGEMEIS- TER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Barron, in the county of Barron and State of VVisc-onsin, have invented new and useful Methods of Making Non-Heat-Conducting Coverings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the method of making a non-heat conducting covering for articles of manufacture such as stove lid lifters and the like.

The primary object of the invention is to provide a method whereby an article of manufacture, such as a stove lid lifter or the like, may be supplied at a minimum expense and in acomparatively short time with the non-heat conducting covering which will enable the article to be readily handled when in a heated condition.

\Vith these and other objects in view the invention resides in the application of the various ingredients to an article of manufacture in the manner hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing which is herebv made a part hereof:

Figure l is a general view of a stove lid lifter equipped with my novel covering.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section taken through the handle of the lifter.

In supplying an article of manufacture with a durable and non-heat conducting covering in accordance with the methods which will now be described, the article is first covered with a plastic coating of non-heat conducting fibrous material such as asbestos cement or the like. The covering is now allowed to dry and after the covering has become thoroughly hard, any irregularities in its surface are removed with a smoothing implement such as a file or the like.

After the irregularities in the surface of the covering have been removed a number of coats of shellac are applied to the covering which not only imparts a finished appearance to the covering but serve as a reinforcement therefor.

In the drawings 1 designates the handle of a stove lid lifter, 2 indicates the plastic coating, and 3 the exterior layer of shellac.

It Will also be manifest that the shellac coating serves not only as an inclosing covering for preserving the integrity of the fibrous material but offers a comfortable surface to thehand.

Having thus described the method what is claimed as new is The method of making and applying a non-heat conducting covering to an utensil handle which consists in covering the handle with a plastic coating of non-heat conducting fibrous material, drying such material, and coating the same with shellac to inclose the non-heat conducting material and offer a comfortable surface to the hand.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.

RAYMOND HAGEMEISTER.
